Chapter 11.2, Problem 35E
Head movement evaluations are important because disabled individuals may be able to operate communications aids using head motion. The paper “Constancy of Head Turning Recorded in Healthy Young Humans” (Journal of Biomedical Engineering [2008]: 428–436) reported the accompanying data on neck rotation (in degrees) for 14 subjects both in the clockwise direction (CL) and in the counterclockwise direction (CO). For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the 14 subjects are representative of the population of adult Americans. Based on these data, is it reasonable to conclude that

5) Alcohol consumption is influenced by price and packaging, but what about
glassware? Atwood et al. (2012) measured whether the time taken to drink a beer
was influenced by the shape of the glass in which it was served. Participants were
given a 12 oz. of chilled lager and were told that they should drink it at their own
pace while watching a nature documentary. The participants were randomly
assigned to receive their beer in either a straight-sided glass or a curved, fluted glass.
The data below are the total time in minutes to drink the glass of beer by the 19
women participants in the study.
Straight glass: 11.63 10.37 17.89 6.96 20.40 20.64 9.26 18.11 10.33 23.54
Curved glass: 7.46 9.28 8.90 6.73 8.25 6.16 13.09 2.10 6.37
a. Show the data in a graph. What trend is suggested? Comment on other
differences between the frequency distributions of the two samples.
b. Test whether the mean total time to drink the beer differs depending on beer
glass shape.
Researchers were interested in assessing whether stress levels at the beginning of the semester are related to (i.e., correlated with) stress levels during finals week. To test this, stress was measured in 5 students at the start of the semester and then again at the end of the semester during finals week.

What is the observed correlation coefficient (i.e., r value)?
Head movement evaluations are important because disabled individuals may be able to operate com-munications aids using head motion. A paper reported the accompanying data on neck rotation (indegrees) both in the clockwise direction (CL) and the counterclockwise direction (CO) for 13 subjects.You may assume that the 13 subjects are representative of the population of adult Americans. Basedon these data, is it reasonable to conclude that mean neck rotation is greater than in the clockwisedirection than in the counterclockwise direction?

Reproducibility Researchers looked at studies that were reported in newspapers with the goal of determining whether initial studies had results that could be reproduced. Reproducibility of results means that subsequent analysis confirms the conclusion of the original study. Primary studies are studies where the researchers come up with a research objective, clearly state the goals of the study and population, describe the research method, test the research hypotheses, and draw conclusions. (a) Among the 156 primary studies reported by newspapers, 76 had results that were validated by subsequent analysis.

- Which of the independent variables retains the strongest association with the number of children a respondent has when all other variables in the model are controlled?arrow_forwardA study was conducted to assess the potential of using color for body orienting. 85 college students, reclining on their backs in the dark, found it difficult to establish orientation when positioned on under a rotating disk. This rotating disk was painted half black and half white. Out of the 85 students, 71 believed they were right side up when the white was on top.
